Abstract
This paper identifies three different research trends aiming at analyzing the etiology of postpartum disorders: the social environment, psychodynamics, and biological origins. The emergence of research on postpartum depression is analyzed simultaneously to the evolution of the American DSM during the mid-20th century. Through the analysis of various studies categorized into the three research trends, it becomes apparent that the trends merge into one research focus driven by biological psychiatry during the 1970s. This can be seen as a response to the psychiatric shift, away from a clinical-based towards a research-based orientation, at that time.
